In addition as originally posted, tax money goes in many different directions. We built here and do love it. Mostly my distaste for taxes is the fact that we pay Wildwood for nothing. They don’t provide the trash, water or utilities. Heck, they don’t even light the street lights at night.
Every VLS has knowledge of every village, it’s on the paperwork, if it’s a preowned, and if new available for the asking. Maybe we just have been around long enough or due diligence of our money and what it’s paying for.

Our VLS gave us the run down in all the utilities, taxes, bond, how much water was in the prairie behind us, and yep sat on the empty property we about to buy and build, recorded the turnpike (4streets away) volume different times of the day. Then our friends did the same to get a second opinion.

So maybe we just have a great VLS, that knows we trust him. Although not perfect, why not tell the customer, if they ask? After all average move is 2.5, we are on #4.
